In one week I will be back in Iowa City, as a sophomore. This past year has gone by so fast, and so much has changed. I am so ready to move in to my new apartment with my two best friends, but I have a ton of stuff to do until I do. I literally just got back from an AMAZING vacation on Amelia Island, Florida. Where the sun is always shining, the jellyfish are always stinging, and the food is fried and delicious! Well the sun shined almost all the time, except for your daily afternoon storm, but lucky for my family we were able to go see the Dark Knight Rises on one of the rainy days. There is nothing like a good ole tiny movie theater on an island in a thunderstorm…the power was going on and off and the movie before us stopped playing all together. Fortunately, we got to see the awesome movie without any interruptions. Though during the days, it was absolutely beautiful. Almost too sunny, so I was always going into the ocean. I am not the best swimmer, so rarely do I go in the ocean alone… except for this one time… and I got stung by  a jellyfish!! It hurt and now it is super itchy, and I still have bumps all over my foot. Perfect. When we weren’t dodging jellyfish and swimming around jumping fish, we were usually eating! I am not a big fan of seafood, but the rest of my family loves it! So it was pretty fun going to a couple of new restaurants for dinner! My favorite restaurant was the one we saved for our last night on the island, 29 South! We ate our meal, and still had room for dessert! My mom and I shared coffee and donuts, but they are not what you would have imagined. It was mocha ice cream, with like a bread pudding, and some other tasty things in a mug that the waitress poured onto a plate. It looked a little bit like vomit, but it was so tasty. Yum yum yum. The next day we packed up the car and drove 15 hours straight, and now the summer is practically over! I would say this summer was a very successful one. I did everything I wanted to do, but I do wish I was able to take more dance classes. I didn’t realize how much I would miss it, but not being able to take as many classes as I do in Iowa it was definitely something I missed terribly. Soon enough I will be back in Halsey Hall with the rest of my dancers, sweating my butt off…. Can’t wait!

So with one week left, my family and I are scrambling around trying to get me ready for school. We just ordered a bed for me, so at least I won’t be sleeping on the floor! See you soon Iowa City 🙂
